UH volleyball team loses Clar, Rawson for season

Hawaii has four volleyball matches to try to earn a playoff berth. The 13th-ranked Warriors will have to do it without two players who started for much of the season.

Junior hitter Jim Clar and sophomore middle Matt Rawson "are done for the year," UH coach Mike Wilton said yesterday.

Both Rawson, one of the top blockers in the league, and Clar, the team's kill leader, have torn labrums in their hitting shoulders. Clar also has a broken rib, which he said happened sometime during the March 22 win at USC.

Shoulder surgery is likely for both. The two are expected to return for next season.
